Just look under the bonnet - check the plate. The RS did come out in n/a form but I'd give it a miss - all the disadvantage of a big heavy car with only a 2L non turbo engine - if you're on a budget you would be better off with the Avenir and save up for a 2.5L RS4T.

There was a mint low km (80,000) RS4T in Manukau City just now for $6500 - you might get an OK reposessed one for about $4k to $5k if you look around. Give me a phone in Auckland if you like (09) 838 8602

I'm pretty sure you could only get the 4wd with either the RB25DE or the RB25DET. AFAIK the RB20DE was only offered in the 2WD

Just look under the bonnet for front driveshafts - but if you see an RB20 dont bother.

This looks like the best buy on Trade Me at the moment - good Km looks good in photos - haven't checked it out because I already have one:

Would be a good buy at $5k to $6k

Go for a ride in the one I posted above (in Manukau city) to see if you like it...he might go down to $5k. It won't be lightning fast but for no cost you can reroute the hoses to get a bit more boost and a bigger exhaust and gutted cat etc will make it quite zippy. You sometimes see repossessed ones being auctioned and they go for less but the Manukau City Car looks mint and i sometimes regret that mine is not as original as i would have liked.

I posted some information I got from my HyperRev magazines in a thread, here's a link: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...t&p=4120145

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
